BOTANICAL GARDEN/NATIONAL ART GALLERY

Below are a couple of pictures from the botanical garden.

There is a very nice national art gallery in Caracas.  The building in the picture below is only one of the many galleries in the art district.

Below are two pictures of my favorite exhibit.  In a dark room were about a dozen small sculptures.  Each one was illuminated by a candle which made the sculpture's shadow dance with the breeze.  For as simple as it was it was pretty impressive.

The picture below was of a sculpture by a famous Venezuelan artist Jusús Soto.  It was difficult to take a picture of it, but what it is was was about 2,500 strands of what looked like heavy fishing line running from the floor to the ceiling.  The strands were colored to form the image of a cube in the middle.  There were several of this artist's sculptures around Caracas.  Some were quite large and made of metal.  All of them looked similar to this one.

This was the courtyard inside the National Gallery of Art.  The two little girls in yellow shirts are actually the same girl.  She moved during the time it took to take the two pictures which have been stitched together.
